I never lived in an abandoned railroad station.

My family had a habit of collecting creatures that didn't always want to be pets. The first animal I can remember was a Lab named Zoe.

Any swagger is just defense. When youre reminded so much of who you are by people - not a fame thing, but with my size, constantly, growing up - you just either curl up in a corner in the dark or you wear it proudly, like armor or something. You can turn it on its head and use it yourself before anybody else gets a chance.

Animals on factory farms all face pain and fear, just like the animals we share our homes with, yet are repeatedly abused in shocking ways.

I think if actors are successful at one thing, they paint themselves into a corner sometimes, and what's the fun in that?

Maybe everyone is a little too reassuring that things are going to be OK to college graduates. It gives them a false sort of security.

I dress and eat like a fifth-grader, basically. I like sandwiches and cereal and hooded sweatshirts.
